I'm glad you like those tables, dmlavan. The missing ingredient for making range tables for GWX is the number of degrees that each mark on the 2 periscopes and UZO represent in GWX. (For example, the tables I made for regular SHIII use the data from page 39 in the manual which says that a small tick mark in the zoomed periscope is 0.25° (a quarter of a degree). (Though, note the published UZO value of 0.20° is incorrect, based on my experiments; it should say 0.15°.)
If the GWX guys would share this info, I could whip up some similar tables for use with this popular mod.
